deconstruction

i just asked you
where you wanted
to go to eat

i didn't expect this
deconstruction
of everything you 
hold dear

sometimes 
all i want 
is a simple
yes or no

not a rocking
tower of
syllables 
quaking with emotion
over absolutely 
nothing

your problem is
you take everything
so seriously

what happened to 
the giggly girl 
i was enchanted by

a few short years away?

why does everything
become all
fraught with meaning

when it's just 
simply you 
and direct me

trying to get along?

downsize
your expectations
and 
learn to let go
of your feelings

before i turn away

not that you'd even 
notice 

in between words
